ARTIST STATEMENT


Brightly colored and organic shapes paintings a combination of abstract and realism.

When viewers watch my paintings they can see at first instance one large image. After a closer look they will recognize hundreds of small colored organic shapes. That's very pleasing to my eye.
For me, on the canvas, color is the most important element. I play with the pigments creating contrast in different hues, tones, tints, values and saturations in multiple layers of acrylic colors, oils and the inclusion of thread on canvas.
I hope that the person experiencing my paintings will feel a delight, similar to listening to music.
